You can configure each port within an IntraStack for the following:
❏
Auto-negotiation
❏ Broadcast filtering
❏ Store-and-forwarding
▲ Important: You cannot configure a port’s duplex
mode via the Personality Module.
Configuring Auto-Negotiation
Auto-negotiation allows two devices on a common segment to commu-
nicate their capabilities, allowing the devices to determine their highest
common speed and best communication parameters.
The options negotiated during auto-negotiation are: Ethernet type
(100Base-TX or 10Base-T) and duplex mode (half or full).
▲ Important: To use auto-negotiation, both devices
must support the auto-negotiation feature.
To configure a port for auto-negotiation:
1
Click AutoNegotiate.
You do not have to select any particular port on the front-
panel image.
The Port Auto-Negotiation table appears, similar to
Figure 4-8.
